Helping customers modernise their business

Cloud computing and modern software development techniques are transforming industries and delivering radically improved consumer experiences.

  • 8 years ago Posted in

EMC has introduced new foundational offerings designed to support and accelerate customers’ digital transformation initiatives and address the four major pillars of the modern data center – flash, scale-out, software-defined and cloud-enabled. New offerings include the new Native Hybrid Cloud™ (NHC™) platform, VCE® VxRack™ System 1000 with Neutrino™ Nodes, and major updates to DSSD™ D5™.

New technology-centric companies born in the digital era are leveraging cloud computing, modern software development techniques and an array of smart connected devices to enter and disrupt almost every industry, delivering radically improved consumer experiences. To respond, more traditional organizations must re-kindle innovation within their own IT teams and build out new modern data center architectures to support them. These architectures and infrastructure are very different from what resides in most IT environments today.

  • The latest addition to its cloud solutions portfolio, Native Hybrid Cloud (NHC) is an engineered turnkey developer platform for cloud-native application development and deployment.
